    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer morphine sulfate 2 mg IV bolus. Available is morphine sulfate 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 2 mg Available concentration = 10 mg per 1 mL Set up a proportion: 10 mg : 1 mL = 2 mg : X mL Cross multiply: 10 × X = 2 × 1 10X = 2 X = 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2 mL Final Answer: 0.2 mL
